NEW JERSEY COATING MACHIN E Application med March s, 1928, Serial No. 259,537, and in Great,

This invention concerns machines-for coating pieces of work, being of especial utility 1n connection with the cementing of portions of shoes.

In the manufacture of shoes and other articles, a number of the parts which enter into their construction are coated with some such adhesive as latex, and the machines required for Work of various characters may differ considerably from one another. An object of this invention is to furnish a convertible apparatus which, by relatively small changes, may be adapted to a wide range of uses. Taking as an example the coating of shoeportions, the machines thus assembled may include double and single upper-cementers, insole-lip-cementers, channel-cementers and rand-cementers. Each of these machines may, of course, be utilized for other purposes than the manufacture of shoes. In the attainment of this object, each machine mayhave as a body, common to the various types a frame carrying a movable delivering member and such a mounting device as a spindle. With these may be interchangeably combined any one of a set of operating units, shown in the form of arms, each arm being constructed and arranged to be mounted upon the spindle and being provided with a shaft and a movable member carried thereby and. cooperating with the work. The delivering member is preferably actuated through such driving means as gearing, which is engaged by a driven member or gear upon the shaft of each modifying attachment or arm, so that the member upon said shaft is driven thereby. In different connections, the delivering member may serve to supply adhesive to'the work, or to supply it to the member upon the arm, while the latter member may also apply the adhesive, or may support the work by contact with its lower face .to receive the application to its upper face. The upper applying member may be furnished by a roll, and with this roll, as a part ofthe underlying unitvstructure, is associated a trough or receptacle supported upon .the frame, and :a series of rotatable members, also preferably rolls, successively,co-operating with one am other and feeding.theadhesive from the re- ,ta n: i ei ieli 522 'p to the-ea. m er rrhsu ply of the adhesive'tpfthetrough,as'here n illustrated, is a container removabl y mounted upon a seat,this seat best also "being movable to facilitate' fcl eaning the elements. The seat is preferably cusliionedwith yieldable materialto ble containers.

be unduly great. The present invention avoids this by the provision of means arranged to vary the distance between the ends of the brush-fibers and the-roll. This may act by turning he brush-supporting arm upon its pivot. The chine is best adapted for channel-cementing, and-in this case a channel-flap-gage is mounted upon the arm, so that it is adjustable with the brush. It is also preferably adjustable upon the arm to alter its relation to said brush.

The invention, as illustrated, also provides mechanism for obtaining conformity of a rotatable applying member to the work and of a feeding or delivering member to the applying member. The applying member may, across its periphery transverse to the direction of rotation, be situated at different distances from the axis of rotation, being inclined or curved until it approximates the outline 'of the article to be operated upon, as rands, the opposite faces of which are not parallel. This transverse form of the applying member and its feeding roll or member is complemental, so that not only is uniform application to the work obtained, but also like supply for such application. If

a series of delivering rolls is employed, this conformity extends throughout the series, the

departures of the peripheries from parallelism to the axis of rotation being alternately op osite in curvature or inclination.

Considering first the structure comma to the various machines and most completely illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, there is ournaled brush-type of the ma-' 2 is a broken side elevation of said horizontally in a frame 10 a shaft 12 having fast upon it a member which may be generally designated as A and which delivers the cement or other coating substance for the operation upon the' work, either directly applying said cement to the work or it to another applying member. The shaft 12 is rotated from a driving shaft 14, turning in the frame, through a pinion 16, a gear 18 upon a parallel shaft'20, and a train of delivering three gears 22, the various elements of the gearing being well shown in Fi 3 and their direction of rotation indicated y arrows.

Upon a bracket attached to the rear of the dle 29 fixed to an open seat 30, this seat being formed to receive and retain such a container as an inverted bottle 32, which delivers adhesive to the trough. Set-screws 34 removably hold the spindle upon the trough and the seat upon the spindle. When in the seat, the neck of the bottle extends through an opening at the bottom thereof and through an ahned opening in a wall 36 extending horizontally above the trough. The bottle and seat are thus held against lateral displacement about the spindle. To lessen the danger of breaking bottles as they are placed in the seat, there are provided upon the interior of the latter spaced pads or cushions 38 of leather, felt or other yieldable material. The introduction of a bottle into the seat is facilitated by a cutaway portion at 40, this open space occupying a considerable part of one side of the seat. The trough may be emptied by a valve 42 controlling an opening in the bottom, and, when it is desired to clean it, access may be given to removing the seat with the bottle, or swinging the former to one side about the spindle. Rotatable in the frame over the forward extremity of the trough-extension 26 is a shaft 44, on which is secured a supplying roll 46 with its lower portion in the adhesive contained in the trough. Between the supplying roll and the delivering member A on shaft 12 is an intermediate transferring roll 48 upon the shaft 20. A gear 50 turns the supplying roll from that element of the gearing 22 which is on the shaft 20. The sup gleying r A .and, transferring rolls and the mem upon the shaft 12 co-operatingwith the transferring roll, all rotate at the same peripheral speed and in the same direction. Because 0 this, the supplying roll 46 picks up the adhe- I I sive from the trough,'and, carrying it over its top, deposits it upon the transferring roll 48, which, in turn, carries it over the upper portion of its periphery and lowers the adsubstantially its entire interior by hesive to the delivering roll A. Much of the adhesive substance is therefore carried from the trough to the final point of delivery without passing between the rolls. This is important in connection with such substances as latex, which, by agitation, become coagu lated and thus impaired. lVhen, during the short intervals between the application of pieces of work to the machine, the adhesive is not removed from the delivering roll A by the work, the adhesive is carried around the latter roll and removed by the under periphery of the transferring roll 48 from which it is passed along to the under side of the supplying roll 46 and carried back into the trough. This action is especially advantageous when relatively thin adhesives, such as latex, are employed as it avoids dripping and consequent soiling of work contacting parts of the machine. To govern the amount of cement fed by the series of rolls to the delivering-roll, there is shown as co-operating with and adjustable toward and from the supplying roll a stripping roll 52. The shaft 54 of the stripping roll is journaled in bearings 56 pivoted below the top of the trough. Rising from the bearing adjacent the roll 52 is a standard 58, having pivoted to it a rod 60 movable through an opening in a lug 62 upon the top' of the frame. Surrounding the rod is a spring 64 interposed between the standard and the lug. A nut 66, threaded upon the rod outside the lug, may be turned to draw the bearing 56 forward against the force of the spring, the latter tending to separate the stripping roll 52 from the supplying roll 46. By adjustment of the nut, the space between the rolls 52 and 46 may be varied until the supplying roll is allowed to carry over from the trough to the transferring roll 48 only the necessary quantity. Gearing 68 joins the stripper-shaft 54 to the shaft 44 of the supplying roll. This produces rotation of the stripping roll in the same direction as the supplying roll and at a less peripheral speed. Because of this, the stripping roll effectively holds back the adhesive upon the lower portion of the supplying roll, and does not itself force up or carry with it cement for delivery by the supplying roll. This it accomplishes without lnjurious agitation of such substances as latex.

Projecting from the frame in front of the cement-receptacle and above the shaft 12 is a boss 70, containing a vertical opening, in the lower extremity of which is threaded a bushing 72. Into the interior of the bushing is threaded a rod 74, the lower end of which projects near the level of the delivering member A, providing a, contact-portion. Splined upon the upper extremity of the rod 74 is a hand-wheel 76, in front of and above the receptacle, where it may be conveniently grasped by the operator. The downwardly extended hub of the hand-wheel is toothed at 78 for engagement with an opposite tooth 79 formed upon thetopof the boss". 'W'ithin the hub of the hand 'wheel about the rod'and resting at its lowerend upon'a shoulder with-' I in the hand wheelis a'spring 80. The-spring is slightly compressed 'b'ya locked nut threaded on the rod74 an'dbearing against the 'upper end of thespri'ng; This holds the hand wheel normally inengagement with the tooth 79 so that its adjustment willbe maintained until the operatorwishes to change it.

A

Considering now the use of the apparatus as a double cementer, this machine being particularly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, ,aform of the arm B, designated in the present instance as 92, is mounted upon thespindle 82, there being journaled longitudinally in it a shaft 7 94. Fixed upon theflouter extremity "of the shaft is a roll 96,as the member C, this being vertically alined and co-operating with an applying roll 98' at A. It will be understood that the roll 96 serves inithe dual-capacity of f a Work supporting roll and an'applying roll" for coating the uncle'r sideofthe work. The I rolls 96 and 98, according to the class of work to be done, may of metal, smooth, knurled container 32, maintains in the trough the proper level to furnish cement for a supplying roll 106. This roll is secured upon a shaft 108 rotatable in the arm 92, and is vertically alined and co-operates with the applying roll 96. Gearing 110 rotates the supplying roll 106 from the roll 96 in the same direction and at an equal peripheral speed. As with the supply to the upper applying roll, excessive agitation of the adhesive is thus prevented, and the feed operates-in the same manner, except that, in the case of the lower roll, the more direct transfer from a point below it permits the elimination of the intermediate roll. A stripping roll 112 on a shaft 113,

driven through gearing 114 from the supplying roll 106, acts upon said roll 106 to regulate the quantity of adhesive delivered to the lower applying roll. The manner of mounting and adjustment and the speed and direction of rotation are substantially the same as in connection with the stripping roll 52 and need not be particularly described.

Mounted upon the arm 92, adjacent to the bite of the applying rolls 98 and 96, is a table 116, over which the work is presented for the coating operation. To position the edge of the work at such a point along. the face of the applying member that the desired width of coating may be applied, there is carried upon the arm, at the inner side of the applying rolls, a gage (best shown in Fig. 4) which may include as a portion the table 116, the carrier-block 121 of which is horizontally adjustable upon the arm 92 by a slot-and-screw connection 122. An upper gage-portion in the form of an arm 123 is pivoted upon the block. A spring 124 acts to normally urge the pivoted arm toward the fixed arm, while a screw 126, threaded through the former arm with its end engaging the latter, may be turned to separate the arms. The gage-portions form between them a throat to receive the edge of the work, the opposite work-engaging surfaces 128,128 of the arms diverging outwardly above and below the margin of said work.

Near the juncture of the surfaces 128, 128, the fixed arm is shown as provided with a substantially vertical projection 130. This may extend through an opening in the opposite portion. The projection is of such length I that, whatever the adjustment of the pivoted arm, said projection will extend across the space between the arms, prov1d1ng a well which serves as an edge-gage. The relation of this gage to the applyingrolls is determined by the adjustment of the block 121 at 122. The spacing between the diverging portions of the arms and the degree of their inclination may be such that they lie in close proximity and generally conform to the margin of work which is skived or otherwise beveled. They thus furnish a bearing over the extended surfaces, which prevents the thin edge from curling and thus tending to vary the width of coating as determined by the positioning projection 130.

It may be desired to apply a plurality of widths of coating to the same piece of work. A gage for determining different bands of adhesive is illustrated in Fig. 5. Here, inner and outer blocks 132 and 134, respectively, may be held to the arm 92 by a common slotand-screw connection 136, so gaging elements carried by either block may be independently adjusted toward and from the applying rolls. The inner block 132 has a fixed horizontal gage-arm 138 and a co-operating pivoted arm 140 lying above the arm 138. A spring 142 and adjusting screw 144 may be as in the single-width gage. A projection 146 extends from the fixed arm 138 through a slot in the pivoted arm 140. Pivoted upon the block 134, beneath the arm 138, is an arm 148, with a projection 150 entering a slot in said arm 138. This projection 150 is shown as farther from the cement-applying rolls than the companion projection 146. A spring 152 forces the lower arm 148 toward the fixed arm, and a screw 154 threaded into of the arm 148 serves to determine the spacing. The work-engaging faces 156 of both pivoted arms, opposite the fixed arm and outside the projections, diverge. from the surfaces opposed to them. Save that means the block 134 and contacting with the top In preparing for double cementing, the

underlyingunit structure is taken, and to the frame of this the trough 102 with its container 105-is attached. To the spindle 82 is applied the arm 92 having the lower applying roll 96, the supplying roll 106 and the stripping roll 112 mounted thereon. The gearing of these lower rolls is prepared for its rotation by meshing of the gearing 100 by which connection is established to the upper applying roll 98. The stop-rod 74 limits the approach of the lower applying roll rolls, thereis effective the spring 88 with its rod84 and adjusting screw 86 upon the frame of the unit.

A supply of cement is maintained in the troughs 24. and 102 by the containers 32 and 105, the latter being applied to the machine with the arm 92 and the associated coating elements for theunder side.

of the work. By the direction and speed of rotation of the rolls which feed the applying rolls, the adhesive is delivered to said applying rolls without danger of coagulation and in the desired quantities, controlled by the stripping rolls. It is particularly to be observed that the changes necessary to transform the basic structure into a double cementing machine involve nothing more than the removal of any attachment which may have been upon the spindle 82 and the substitution of an arm carrying the lower applying roll together with its rotating and adhesive-supplying means.

In Fig. 6, the basic machine is illustrated as arranged to coat only the upper side of the work. An arm 160 is applied to spindle 82, this arm having journaled longitudinally in it a shaft 162 geared to the upper applying-roll shaft, as is the shaft 94 of the machine just described. Fixed upon the shaft 162, beneath the upper applying roll 98, is a narrow roll 164, which acts to support the work in engagement with said upper roll and to advance it by co-operation therewith. A fixed scraper 166 may be employed to remove from the roll 16% any cement which tends to gather upon it. This single cementer is, of course, without means for supplying adhesive to the lower roll. The features of the upper portion of the apparatus may remain unchanged.

An arrangement of the basic machine to perform such work as the coating of the lips of insoles is illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8. As in the just-described single cementer, no adhesive is supplied to the lower roll 168, this roll being rotatable in an arm 170 applied to the spindle 82. The lower roll merely supports and advances the work beneath the upper applying roll 98. This roll 98 andits associated elements may be arranged in accordance with the unit first described. Similarly to the single cementer of Fig. 6, the roll 168 is mounted upon a shaft 172 turning in the arm 170 and rotated from the gearing of the upper applying roll. To facilitate turning the work to follow its periphery, the roll 168 may be in sections,one in the center being fast upon the shaft, and a sect-ion 174 at each side being loose thereon.

.During the coating of the work, the operator may wish to vary quickly the width of the coated area, as, for example, to apply a wider strip at the shank-portion of an insole asit advances. To effect this,.a gage member'180 is] arrangedfor contact with the inner edgeof the work. and is fixedupon a slide or carrier 182. Thisslide is movable in ways upon thefrontof the arm 170 and has a projection 184 entering a .fork at the upper end of a lever 186 fulcrumed upon the arm. A spring 188,'connecting the lever to the portion 89, urges the carrier and gage in the direction of the applyingrollh If the operator desires to widen the coated area, he may shift the gage away from the, applying roll 98 by means of a handle 190 projecting from the lower extremity of the lever 186. Or hemay produce the change through a connecting rod 192 articulated to a lateral extension from the lever and oined to a treadle (not shown). This he may accomplish without interfering with his manipulation of the work as he directs it through the rolls and holds it against the gage. The minimum width of the coating may be determined by an adjusting screw 194 carried by the arm, against which the spring 188 draws the lever. It may be advantageous to shift the work-supporting roll 168, 174: either with the gage or, in some classes of work, independently thereof. For

such purposes, the slide 182 is shown as having a projection 196 entering a groove at the side of the roll. The shaft 172 may be movable as a whole longitudinally through its bearings. In Fig. 7, however, the shaft appears in sections, with a slot-and-pin connection 197 between them. In this case, the rollshaft section is shifted longitudinally, While the driving section is held against axial movement. This bodily travel ofthe work-supporting roll tends to minimize the resistance of the work to the change of position laterally.

The alteration from the types of apparatus previously described, to the insole-lip-cementer, calls for no modification of the fundamental structure, but merely the interchanging of arms, with the elements peculiar to each, upon the spindle 82. i

In the channel-c'ementerof Figs. 9 and 10, the upper member A becomes a roll 199 and serves to deliver adhesive to a roll which is in direct engagement with the work. This latter applying roll is furnished by a brush 200 fast upon a shaft 202 'journaled in an arm 204 fulcrumed upon the spindle 82. The brush-shaft is geared, as in the other type of machines, to the main gearing. The adjustment of the arm by means of the stop-rod 7 4 becomes an agency for varying thedistance between the ends of the brush-fibers and the periphery of the roll 98 to compensate for the wear of the fibers by their engagement with the work. The delivery of the adhesive by the roll to the brush may thus be maintained uniform.

Fixed to the arm, and passing about the rear of the brush, is a bracket 206. Upon this bracket a slide 208 is vertically adjustable by a slot-and-screw connection 210, and piv-' brush-periphery; Ascraper 216 is adjustably attached to the arm by a slot-and-screw connection 217, being formed to clean the shaft adjacent to the brushof cement, deflecting it back toward said brush. The outer end of the scraper also acts over the end of the brush-body to clean this.

Save for the change of function of the member 98, no alteration is made in the basic structure when utilized in a channel-cementer. The change of arms effects the conversion of the apparatus.

The machine organized for the coating of such work as rands is shown in Figs. 11 and 12. An arm 220 is pivoted upon the spindle 32. In the arm is a shaft 222 rotated from the associated gearing of the main unit and having fast upon it a work-supporting and advancing roll 224. In work of this character, the surfaces to be coated may be transversely curved or inclined, so that rolls having their peripheries parallel along transverse lines may not give proper contact. To overcome this difficulty, the rolls engaging the work both at its upper and under sides to respec" tively apply the adhesive and give support for such application may have their peripheries along transverse lines differently spaced from the axes of rotation. Depending upon the cross-contour of the work, the edges of these rolls may be inclined or may be curved transversely, the latter arrangement being shown in Fig. 11. Here, the modification 225 of the upper delivering member A has a concave periphery, while the co-operating lower roll 224 is convex. To enable the adhesive to be uniformly distributed across the roll 225, the transferring roll 226 and the supplying roll 228 delivering from the upper trough 24 are correspondingly formed, with their curvature alternately opposite. That is, the applying roll 225-being concave, the roll 226 which directly eta-operates with it is convex,

while the supplying roll 228 delivering to the roll 226 is concave. Thus a uniform distribution of the adhesive is provided for across the entire width of the feeding rolls throughout the series, and similarly delivered to the applying roll 225, which approximates in transverse contour that of the work. The

lower supporting roll 224also approaches in flanges 234 and 236, respectively, from this wall act to prevent vertical displacement cf the work, the lower flange 234 being wider and giving a supporting table over which the strip advances. The angle formed between the adjacent surfaces of the flanges may approximately correspond to that between the opposite faces of the work, so that-the latter is more accurately positioned for the coating operation. Both flanges are preferably situated above the bite of the rolls 224 and 225 and are inclined upwardly from the gagewall across the incoming side of the rolls and (in the direction of advance of the work.

Such beveled strips as rands tend to be so irregular or wavy at their thin edge that it is dificult to apply the adhesive to the successive depressed portions of their upper surfaces, the roll 225 contacting only with the crests of the waves. But with the guiding flanges 234 and 236 arranged as just indicated, the work is drawn down by the rolls from its position above the bite, being thus caused to partly surround the applying roll. The greater elevation'of the thin edge by the longitudinal inclination of the flange 234 also causes it to be stretched. Consequently, the

entire upper surface of the strip is so forced against the applying roll that it receives a practically uniform coating throughout. The inclination of the flanges in the direction in wnich the work travels prevents excessive resistance to this movement. A contact-post 238 may be provided, pivoted upon an arm 240 projecting below the gage-wall and adjustable toward and from this by a screw 242 threaded through the post and bearing against the arm. When curved rands are being operated upon, this post may be applied to the gage device. and, by its contact with the inner edge, will act to turn the rand from a straight path, at the same time holding its edge against the gage-wall 232, and automatically feeding it in the desired direction. With some work, especially straight strips, there may be a tendency for it to leave the gage-wall 232 so the width of the coated area is narrowed. This is avoided by mounting with the wall 232, preferably by a screw-andslot connection 244, for horizontal adjustranged for contact with the opposite sides of the rand. The engaging edges 248, 248 of these gage-portions may be inclined or otherw se formed to approximate the transverse formation of the work. Correctly adjusted by means of the connection 244, this member 246 willhold the strip against outward displacement, and, by the contact of its edges 248, 248, will prevent pressure from being.

brought upon the reduced edge which might distort it and lead to a variation in the width of coating by the separation of the strip from the wall 232.
